    You can buy generic seats like that all day long dirt cheap on eBay.

        The seat? Yes. The fabricated cowl? No.

            The upholstery looks fabricated as well. Maybe he built the cowl around the seat.

                Gotcha. Picked that bike up yesterday out of Texas, and happened to come across this post when looking for some info on the chain drive conversion. Was curious about some of the work done on it.

                                    "Removed from a drag bike" to me means run extremely hard. Then again, about the only thing worth paying much attention to is that machined shaft.
